text_original: Theodoric had declared war on his Roman subjects, and it is hard to say what the issue of the contest would have been. But before Theodoric could put into execu  tion an edict ordering the churches throughout Italy to be handed over to the Arians, he was stricken with mortal disease, and died on 30th August, 526. He is said to have bitterly lamented on his death bed the acts of violence that had stained the last years of his life.
